709 Baker St, San Francisco, CA 94115

The two-unit residential building at 709 Baker Street in Park North, owned by Aldo & Maria Cecchini since 1995, is a two-story flats and duplex structure dating back to 1902. The building has undergone several significant renovations over the years, most notably a furnace replacement in both units in 2022 with new 80% efficient models, and a substantial ground floor renovation in 1992 costing $24,000.

Of particular concern are the building's historical violations from December 2003, which included multiple safety issues such as egress obstruction at back stairs, exterior wood stairs repairs, smoke detector compliance, window frame maintenance, and inadequate lighting at the front stairs - all of which were officially abated by March 2004. The building experienced termite and dry rot damage in 1989, which required repairs including wood floor removal. More recent history shows a complaint in 2020 regarding construction noise, though this was not linked to any permitted work.

In 2024, there have been multiple reports of garbage and debris issues, including two cases in August 2024, three sidewalk cleaning calls, and several parking enforcement requests for blocked driveways. A graffiti incident on the building was reported and resolved in May 2024. The property's maintenance history suggests periodic attention to major systems (like heating) and responsiveness to historical code violations, though the recent pattern of garbage and debris issues in 2024 might indicate some ongoing maintenance challenges.
